Plenty of BSOD's, for apparently no reason, all with different error messages

Since two days ago, I've gotten an alarming number of BSOD's. They all happen at random times, whether I'm playing CS:GO or I'm sitting at the login screen. They have gotten very frequent, to where I can maybe get 10 minutes of uptime before it crashes again. Any help is appreciated.

Here are my computer specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Swerdman55/saved/PnbPxr

I've also tried running my computer with one RAM stick at a time, but it happened with each one individually.

I'm currently running memtest, I'll update this post when I get the results on any passes or fails. (It is currently at 2 passes and no errors)

Here is a link to a zip file of all the dump files: http://www.filedropper.com/euclydes-tue0524201617230265

So its not often i read a summary and find out there are new Nvidia drivers I don't have yet... that doesn't help really, I wish Nvidia could write drivers better these days. You could try doing this: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2767677/clean-graphics-driver-install-windows.html

are you using a wireless lan card? it would seem it is the cause of many of the errors. NDIS.sys is to do with LAN drivers

not a lot of new drivers on your mobo web site, I would suggest running driver booster and seeing if it can find a new Atheros driver for your usb device... as well as motherboard drivers.

I will try this when memtest has finished running. I accidentally marked this as the best solution, and I don't know how to undo it...

Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

22 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. Only 10 are included in this report. 2 third party drivers have been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 368.22 , NVIDIA Corporation)
athrx.sys (Atheros Extensible Wireless LAN device driver, Atheros Communications, Inc.)

If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination with the errors that have been reported for these drivers. Include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions on the web by users who have been experiencing similar problems.


Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

I re-installed my NVIDIA driver, hopefully that helps.

Yea, I have a wireless LAN card. It's a TP-LINK card. This one: http://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/details/cat-11_TL-WN851ND.html

I noticed it was flagging the Atheros driver... but when I google it, it looks like Atheros makes their own cards. Why would I have that driver when I don't have one of their cards?

Either way, I'll download driver booster and let you know what it says.

I went and uninstalled my network adapter drivers, then downloaded and installed the ones from TP-Link's website.

Then I went ahead and ran Driver Booster, it told me around 30 drivers were out of date, and one of my network adapter drivers was faulty. I went and updated them all through Driver Booster.

Hopefully this does the trick! I can't really test it other then wait to see if my computer Blue Screens again. Thanks for the help! I'll let you know if I get more crashes.
